Chinese lantern, 20th century

Chinese lantern with hand-painted glass panels, dating from the 20th century.

Each glass panel of the lantern is decorated with hand-painted floral motifs, creating a subtle pattern. The shaped legs add lightness to the whole piece and are covered with a natural, elegant patina that shows the item’s age. The lantern has a hinged lid, which makes it easy to access the inside and change the light bulb without trouble.
The lantern shows natural signs of use and patina. The glass is not damaged, and the lid opening mechanism works smoothly.

It makes a wonderful, unique gift.
